SHENANIGANS! I CALL SHENZ! When did Spiderman show up in the middle of a historic war?! And I was pretty sure Darth Vader was never associated with Soviet Russia.... although, if he was, that would explain a lot. <a href="http://bit.ly/16EiTfa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://bit.ly/16EiTfa</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51436727ecad049f6e000009Michael DurwinFri, 15 Mar 2013 14:23:35 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51436727ecad049f6e000009
What is a walkout for? To create a union? I understand the desire for collective bargaining rights, however, the bankruptcy had nothing to do with employee rights and everything to do with a company that was so poorly managed that it went out of business at the end of a huge project.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514205efeab8ea453300000attThu, 14 Mar 2013 13:16:31 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514205efeab8ea453300000a

I'm a visual effects artist and I couldn't agree more.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514132e9eab8eafa5700000aStathamWed, 13 Mar 2013 22:16:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514132e9eab8eafa5700000a
So you are saying Life of Pi is focused on 'presenting catastrophic destruction, and instead focused on plot, character development, and morality tales' ?
Yes I agree with some of your points there can be great movies made without CG and there are a huge amount of awful movies made with CG. And I'm all for the practical effects as well. Personally I even like them better than CG. But... There are also huge amount of awful movies without CG.
My point is, CG is a tool, just like the camera and in the hands of the right filmmaker it will serve well to tell a story.It can and it did open new opportunities previously not possible.
If we looked everything with your point of view: There were tremendous stories told before the invention of Movies, great books would continue to be written and still is. So we don't need Movies eh?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51411d2eecad043719000016h.botWed, 13 Mar 2013 20:43:26 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51411d2eecad043719000016
what you don't realize is that CGI permeates through ALL movies these days
here are some examples

A bad film is a bad film... irrespective of what type of effects are used. All non CGI fims are not "good". All CGI films are not "bad".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514115ceecad048612000001jackadullboy (@JackAdullby)Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:11:58 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514115ceecad048612000001
Not sure I understand your point. CGI is crap and Claymation is also crap? So what solution are you offering?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514089daeab8ea6c4f00000fsweetdougWed, 13 Mar 2013 10:14:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/514089daeab8ea6c4f00000f

Lots of the special effects today, that CGI crap, look no better than the hoary old, stop-action, clay-mation movies from the 60's.

Actually, it would look more like this: <a href="http://is.gd/6GiKoP" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >http://is.gd/6GiKoP</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f4d3969bedd4e57000018Dont Know About ThatTue, 12 Mar 2013 11:43:53 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f4d3969bedd4e57000018
Total Recall 1990 had practically no effects. The Marscape was in fact a practical effect. And it rocked. Flash Gordon 1980 too.
Life of Pi sucked a55.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f3ff86bb3f7c70a000006Jungle JimTue, 12 Mar 2013 10:47:20 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f3ff86bb3f7c70a000006
Special effects are necessary today to distract viewers from mediocre scripts and lame acting. Some of the current crop, like "John Carter", are so godawful that even special effects don't help. Movies years ago were much better because they had to be. Back then you couldn't hide behind ersatz violence. If you want fantasy, read the minutes of the FOMC meetings.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f3d1eeab8eabb5b000001GreaslTue, 12 Mar 2013 10:35:10 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/513f3d1eeab8eabb5b000001

Tremendous movies were made for many decades WITHOUT all the CG.
Without CG today, tremendous movies would continue to be made. They would just be different movies than are made WITH CG. -- Perhaps they would be less focused on presenting catastrophic destruction, and instead focused on plot, character development, and morality tales.
